Trivia

In the anime, instead of one centipede summoned, three are summoned. One was still killed by Sakura and a second by Shikamaru Nara while protecting Kurenai Yūhi. It is unknown if the third was killed off-screen or if it was de-summoned before Pain destroyed the village, but it was seen when Moegi went to save Sōta who was trapped under a building.[1]

This summoning was reminiscent of the Japanese legend of the ōmukade, a giant human-eating centipede that lives in the mountains.
